Used Tsugami Machines We Buy

Used Tsugami machines come through Machine Tool Exchange as a Swiss-type turning book, and we buy them outright from the companies that own them. This hub holds 413 Tsugami listings: 107 are filed as CNC Swiss-Type Lathes, 61 as CNC Lathes, and M08SY is the single largest model family at 10. Here is what actually moves an offer.

What Is in the Tsugami Book Right Now

Every one of the 413 listings in this hub is a Tsugami, and they carry 315 distinct model designations, so repeats are rare and nearly every unit gets scoped on its own. The category split reads like this: 107 listings are filed as CNC Swiss-Type Lathes, 61 as CNC Lathes and 9 as CNC Turning Centers. A further 211 sit under the broad Metal Cutting heading, which is a parent facet rather than a machine type, so a machine filed there can still be a lathe. The rest is smaller but real: 9 CNC Vertical Machining Centers, 6 CNC Horizontal Machining Centers, 3 CNC Miscellaneous Machines, then 2 each of CNC Machining Centers, CNC Grinding Machines and CNC Multi-Tasking Machines, and 1 CNC Horizontal Boring Mill. Of the listings that carry a build year, the oldest is a 1978 machine and the newest a 2024. That is the whole book, counted rather than estimated.

Swiss-Type Turning Is the Largest Machine Type Here

CNC Swiss-Type Lathes is the largest named machine-type category here at 107 listings. Add the 61 CNC Lathes and 9 CNC Turning Centers and 177 of the 413 sit in a lathe-named or turning-named category. The families behind those counts are ordinary working machines. B0205 shows up 7 times and B0206 6 times, with B038T at 5 and B0385L, B0126 and B0326 at 4 each. SS327 appears 7 times, SS207 and SS20 5 each, SS32 4. BS19 and BS20 each appear 5 times too, BS26, BS32 and BS12B 4 times each, and BS26C, BS32CE and BS12 3 times each. S206 comes through 6 times, S16 4 and S205 3. Some families sit almost entirely in the Swiss-type filing: 4 of the 5 BS20 listings are filed as CNC Swiss-Type Lathes, 5 of the 6 S206 listings, and all 3 B0386 listings. If you run a Swiss department, that is what moves through here.

The M08SY Family, and Why the Model String Matters

M08SY is the largest single model family in this hub at 10 listings, and M08SY-II is the most common individual model string in the book at 6. The M08SY family files as 7 under Metal Cutting and 3 as CNC Lathes. Now the part worth reading twice, because it changes what you send us. This catalog carries the same machine written more than one way. M08SY and MO8SY differ by a single character, a digit zero against a letter O, and they are counted separately at 10 listings and 4. They even file differently, with MO8SY landing 2 in CNC Lathes, 1 in Metal Cutting and 1 in CNC Multi-Tasking. M08SYII shows up on its own as well, apart from the 6 written as M08SY-II. The model string is what places a machine, so read it off the data plate and send it exactly as printed, hyphens and zeros and all.

The Tsugami Machines Here That Are Not Swiss Lathes

Not everything in this book turns bar stock. FMA3 is the second-largest family here at 9 listings, and it is not a turning line: most of the family files under Metal Cutting, CNC Horizontal Machining Centers and CNC Horizontal Boring Mills, and it accounts for the hub's only horizontal boring mill plus half of the 6 horizontal machining centers. On the vertical side the hub holds 9 CNC Vertical Machining Centers and 2 CNC Machining Centers, and the VA2 family, at 3 listings, contributes one of those vertical centers. There are also 2 CNC Grinding Machines, 2 CNC Multi-Tasking Machines and 3 CNC Miscellaneous Machines. TMA8F and TMA8 each appear twice, as do MB35E and G18, and at two listings apiece none of them carries a recorded category split. The practical point for a seller: a Tsugami that is not a Swiss lathe is still squarely something we buy, and it gets scoped on its own model, hours and condition rather than on its family name.

What Moves the Number, and What to Have Ready

On a Swiss machine the number moves on hours and configuration. Spindle hours, whether the machine still holds tolerance, the sub-spindle and live-tooling setup, and whether the guide bushing, collets and bar feeder go with it, because a Swiss cell quotes as a cell rather than as a bare machine. The designation is doing real work too. Several models here carry a 5AX suffix, SS207-5AX and SS327-III-5AX among them, and generation suffixes run through the catalog: BS19-III, BS20-II, B0326E-II, B0205-II, B0206-V. Have this ready before you call: the serial number, the model string exactly as it reads on the data plate, the build year, spindle hours if tracked, the control, a tooling list, and a few photos of the control screen and the work envelope. Photos help but are not required to start. With 315 distinct models across 413 listings, Jason Puuri scopes each machine on its own hours and condition rather than the brand.

Selling a Tsugami Direct Instead of Listing It

MTE buys outright. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a consignment service, so there is no listing fee and no commission out of what you walk away with. Three steps. Send the machine details, meaning brand, model, year, condition and any tooling included. We evaluate it and send a quote, typically within 24 to 48 hours. Accept it and we schedule pickup. Rigging, crating and freight are on us, nationwide, at no cost to you. Payment happens at pickup, not on 30-day terms. Condition is not a gate: running, needing repair, or sitting idle since the job ended, all three still get evaluated. One Swiss lathe and a full cell coming out during a changeover go on the same terms, and pulling several at once does not mean one blanket price. MTE has been buying and selling industrial machinery since Superior Machine and Tool was founded in 2012.

Common questions

Who buys used Tsugami machines?

Machine Tool Exchange, as a direct buyer. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a listing service. You sell to us; we handle logistics and resale.

Do you buy Tsugami M08SY and M08SY-II machines?

Yes. M08SY is the largest model family here at 10 listings and M08SY-II the most common model string at 6, each scoped on its own hours and control.

Do you buy the Tsugami TMA8F?

Yes. TMA8F and TMA8 each appear twice here. Send the designation exactly as it reads on the data plate and we will scope that machine on its own hours.

Do you buy Tsugami Swiss-type lathes, or only conventional CNC lathes?

Both. 107 listings here are filed as CNC Swiss-Type Lathes, 61 as CNC Lathes and 9 as CNC Turning Centers. Tell us whether the guide bushing and collets go with it.

How much is a used Tsugami machine worth?

That depends on the model, year, control, tooling and condition. Send us the specific unit and we will quote that machine, not the brand.

Do you buy older Tsugami machines, or only recent ones?

Both. Of the listings here that carry a build year, the oldest is 1978 and the newest 2024. Age narrows an offer; it does not rule one out.

Do you buy Tsugami machining centers, or only turning machines?

Both. Alongside the Swiss lathes this hub holds 9 vertical machining centers, 6 horizontal machining centers and a horizontal boring mill, much of the horizontal side from the FMA3 family.

Thinking about selling Tsugami Machines?

On a Tsugami the model string is the whole conversation. With 315 distinct models here and the same machine spelled more than one way, one photo of the data plate beats a paragraph. M08SY comes through most. Tell Jason Puuri whether the guide bushing, collets and bar feeder go with it, and expect a number in 24 to 48 hours. Call 800-822-9524 or send details at /sell-your-cnc-machine/.

Tell us what you’re selling

Send us the make, model and a few photos and we’ll come back with a cash offer. Most sellers hear from us the same business day.
